ventilating flue should be covered
with a piece of tin or a

freezing weather occurs addition|

Cabbage and collards -Dig a
trench deep enough to accommodate
the roots and stems of the
, ,plants and set the collard out in
I the trench just as you would if
j setting young plants in the field.
Cover both the roots and stems
! with soil. The heads may be set
: close enough for the leaves of
.' each successive plant to touch
, | the preceding one, but the plants
j should not be packed against
I j each other. The trench may be
, wide enough to accomodate one,
' two or three rows of plants. Set
j J a board or plank on edge on
(j each side of the trench and bank
Ion the outside with soil. Cover
with pine brush or cornstalks.
l When severe weather arrives, it
might be advisable to throw a
i light layer of soil over the brush
or cornstalks. When kept in this
. way, the plants may bleach to
some extent, but this should not
( impair their quality. Another
method commonly used in Eastern
North Carolina consists of
pushing the heads over toward
the north and covering the stem
and base of the heads with soil.
I The plants are thus left right in
the row where they grew, and
they usually keep quite well. I
would suggest that you try both
methods and see which works
out best.

Sweet potatoes keep best in a

Dear Sir:? ! ]V
We were tremendously impres- q
I sed with the inconsistancy of i gj
Mr. George R. Foulke, Jr., in his a
lengthy epistle which appeared j]
i last week in these columns. I S(
First, Mr. Foulke stated blunt-1 j,
| ly that he was going to vote |
against Mr. Roosevelt, with whom; w
he had no apparent quarrell oth-11,
er than the third term. n
He then about faced and said g
that he planned to vote for the \
local Democratic candidates, with
whose leaders he professed to be
at great difference. 11(
| A case of much ado about noth- j ^
ing, we'd say, and we remain' it
unswerving in our purpose to vote y
the straight Democratic ticket. j
Yours very truly, e
